That's just great. It's literally the only use case I had for it. There are tons of better ways to share files on PC.

Sharing files? Probably. Reliably syncing files without interaction, and especially without requiring a central server? i don't think so.

The truth is, the android app has existed for over 10 years now and it has never been good. It kinda mostly worked for some use cases, but always-on continuous sync on battery wasn't really one of them. And that's been true even before Google justifiably started restricting filesystem access in KitKat(!) 11 years ago.

If you are looking for an Android app that does syncing in the background well, I can highly recommend FolderSync.
